1. Does the highlighted sentence mean "merging medieval church music into the dark narratives of pulp fiction and film noir and into elements from eighteenth-century "?

Context:

The soundtrack is a disjointed narrative created by a stream of interrupted consciousness which cuts in and out, weaving medieval plainsong into the dark narratives of pulp fiction and film noir, to eighteenth-century historical reference, now charged with a sense of the ominous, now of the ridiculous.
